2015 Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Lavaux St Jacques", Burgundy, FranceABOUT THIS WINE This fabled vineyard site, sitting in the heart of the Combe de Lavaux, produces a wine of great breadth and depth with wild berry notes (both red and black), ample body and formidable age ability. The domaine works almost 7 10 of a hectare, making this 1er Cru one of the most important holdings for Harmand Geoffroy. The vines were planted between 40 and 90 years ago (as of 2011) so yields are small and the juice quite concentrated.

Stéphane’s quest to convey his many different terroirs has led him to produce nearly 50 different cuvées from many different grape varieties using various vinification methods
